Complete instructions from MDA chat

[Guest guest]

All:

Please read the following instructions carefully. MDA chat on Monday night

has changed over to the Digi Chat server. It will require a few extra steps

the first couple of times you visit. We don't want to loose any of our

chatters this coming Monday.Hope to see you there!

Your Mito Chat Hosts!

* As many of you know by now, we have recently moved to a new chat

client called DigiChat for MDAChats . I have entered all chat hosts into

the membership database, so those of you that are hosts can log into

DigiChat using the same nickname/username and password you always have used.

The Login page is located at: http://www.mda.org/chat/chatroomlogin.aspx>

http://www.mda.org/chat/chatroomlogin.aspx. If

a security warning or two pops up, just click Yes to proceed.

* " Regulars " have also been added to the membership database, so try

logging in with.the same nickname/username and password you always have used

first. If you are unable to log in, please see next paragraph please email

http://mail.yahoo.com/config/login?/ym/Compose?To=mdachat (AT) mdausa (DOT) org>

mdachat@... to do this and let us know what nickname/username you

would like. You will be sent a password the next day via email (or on Monday

morning if submitted over the weekend).

* MDA Chat transcripts will be downloaded every morning and placed on

the MDA Web site on the next business day following a chat (or asap). A chat

calendar can still be found at: http://www.mda.org/chat/calendar.html>

http://www.mda.org/chat/calendar.html. All

chat times and days have remained the same.

* Your Web browser must have __javascript enabled in order for you to

enter MDA chats now. If you want to check if your Web browser has

__javascript enabled please go to:

http://www.buymebuyme.com/retail/help/javascript.html>

http://www.buymebuyme.com/retail/help/__javascript.html. These instructions

will tell you how to enable __javascript in your browser.

* When you go to the login page for MDA chats

( http://www.mda.org/chat/chatroomlogin.aspx>

http://www.mda.org/chat/chatroomlogin.aspx) you will not see fields for

your User Name or Password until 15 minutes before a chat is to open.

* Once you do login to MDA chats, you will automatically enter a

general room called MDA Foyer. To enter the specific chat room you want

(i.e., Positive Thinking, Living with ALS, etc.), click on the Rooms tab in

your window and you will see a list of available chat rooms on the

right-side of the window. Double-click on the chat you want to enter.

* You can change your icon, colors, font sizes, etc. in the Settings

area, so just click this button if you want to change your profile, add an

emoticon, etc.
